Basically, sarcoptic mites and mange mites are one and the same. Mange is the disease that results from an infestation of these mites. The mites burrow into the skin, causing irritation and various symptoms.
Most of the time, mange is indeed triggered by mites. Mites burrow into the skin, causing irritation, hair loss, and other symptoms. Different types of mites can lead to various forms of mange.
Not all mites are mange. Mange is a specific skin condition caused by certain types of mites, but there are many different species of mites that don't cause mange.
